The concept for a sequel to «Terminator 3» in brief:
After Judgment Day, John Connor and Kate Brewster take refuge in the «Crystal Peak» bunker and become leaders of the Resistance. Skynet, unable to break the people through force, changes tactics: it doesn’t just want to kill the heroes—it needs to turn them into its instruments. To achieve this, it lures John and Kate into a trap and attempts to reformat their consciousness using a frequency converter—suppressing their will and forcing them to think according to machine logic, while preserving their knowledge and charisma.
During the experiment, Kate partially succumbs to Skynet’s influence, while John, conversely, finds weaknesses in the system. In the end, they thwart the enemy’s plans and turn the technology against it: Kate, at the cost of her life, creates a massive glitch in the Skynet network—giving the Resistance a chance to strike.
